experience was good. U just need to try and get use to it. It how you control the throttle. Balancing its the same. before moving it is bit heavy but once it move it is the same like normal kapcai.

dont panic. dont be afraid with it. you control it not the bike controlling u. u set where it go and how fast it go. sure can la.. dont worry so much. buy the bike then we can go ride together.

I have the same dilemma as TS .. .. my case even worse, I wanted a big cc bike since years ago but till now, I yet to make a move .. ..

a lot of things cycling in my head ... one of them is safety .. my parents, my wife keep saying bike has no safety .. dangerous, etc ... those comments make me pending on my purchase for years .. ..

I am looking into 250cc with blade 250R and kawa 250 are in my top list ...

does it mean 250 not dangerous? is all about u la.. and how u control ur self.

I rather get R1 if i were u..

how long did you take to get used to it? any experience riding a superbike before?

no money for R1

why listen to the person who think big is good ???

no experience riding superbike prior buying it. the only experience i have is Kapcai.

I took about a month to get use to it with riding it every weekend. First 2 weeks i ride from house (BRP) to shah alam using guthrie highway. Since it is highway so i can try to speed and ride slowly to get use to it. 3rd and 4th week (confident a bit) i ride to KL. Face the jammed so i can learn how to "cilok" even though it hard and HOT!...hehe

It is all on ur hand. my experience might not be the same as u or other people. myb some people thing why need to rush and bla..bla..

all it is up to u. I have passion in big bike and am not sure about u.

Base on experience with friends, most of them who bought 250cc and 650cc regret buying it after 6 month. this experience might not applicable for u or others. this is my experience and my personal opinion only.

good luck hunting! make a wise decision.

update us with ur final decision. what ever bike u buy we still can go ride together:)

oh, yeah. you should consider maintenance.

maintain big cc bike is not cheap, especially inline4 engine bike (4 cylinders)

engine oil and spark plugs are least of your concerns when it comes to maintenance.
LOL, its the big fat rubber down there thats gonna cost you.

But fret not, you dont have to buy expensive tyres just to go out and about everyday.
Its when you want to head for track and race, is when you'll be spending a pair per session.

my plan is even no experience in bike b4 , buy alrdy , ride around the neighbourhood for 2 months everyday , just practice slowly until familliarise then venture further bit by bit

lolz

Lol... got asian kit.... I'm 184cm....

If i were to go for DP, definitely Triumph Tiger...haha

Tend to agree with the statement..my 650 only last for 5 mths b4 i move to 1ltr bike...

Triumph fanatic spotted. Enuf said..
